From traditional to pops, renowned tenor fare and Broadway favorites, New Jersey Festival Orchestra’s (NJFO) Holiday concerts promise to fill the entire family with warmth and cheer.
They’re back!
Under the baton of Maestro David Wroe, the orchestra will kick off the festive season with a bang and plenty of bling as The Three Holiday Tenors join NJFO to present a family festival of traditional and contemporary holiday songs and music.
“We cannot wait to return to The Presbyterian Church at this special time of year and are thrilled to welcome back The Three Holiday Tenors – each more talented than the next – to help us celebrate the holiday season,” said Wroe.
The concert features Metropolitan Opera’s internationally acclaimed tenor Errin Brooks and award winning tenors Jeremy Brauner and Mackenzie Whitney to celebrate and captivate with a dazzling selection of renowned tenor arias. Traditional carols, signature versions of familiar fare and a host of wintertime curiosities are also sure to delight.
“We believe there is something for everyone in this performance. Our holiday concert is a vessel for children, parents, grandparents and friends – indeed the entire community – come together through festive music at this unique time of the year.”
The concert will take place at the Presbyterian Church in Westfield at 7:00pm on Saturday, December 9 and will be repeated the following day, Sunday, December 10 at 3:00pm at Drew University in Madison.
